1950. The town breathes in the slow rhythm of ordinary life, but here in the alleyway, the click of my boots on wet cobblestones marks a different time. I stand alone, watching the street, the future erased—nothing left but its faint traces sketched in the past. None of that matters now. My hands are cold. My eyes search for a shape in the crowd that might be you. Please, you, come back from this mission. Come back whole. I'm waiting.
